Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
App
What feature would you like to see?
Please add attachment-upload support to Codex's direct Jira integration.
Current workflow:
- Codex can create, read, and edit Jira issues through the integration.
- The available Jira tools do not include an attachment-upload action.
- When a task requires attaching a Slack screenshot to a Jira issue description, the agent must fall back to browser UI automation and a local download.
Requested capability:
- Add a Jira attachment-upload tool/API that accepts a local file or conversation image.
- Allow inserting the uploaded image directly into Jira description and comment fields when supported.
- Return attachment metadata or a link so the agent can verify the upload.
This would keep Jira workflows within the direct integration, eliminate manual browser steps, and reliably preserve important visual context.
Additional information
Observed in the Codex desktop app while creating and updating Jira work items.

Research direction
Start by locating Codex's direct Jira integration and the existing Jira issue creation, reading, and editing tools. Review how those tools handle local or conversation-provided content; done means an attachment can be uploaded, inserted into supported descriptions or comments, and its metadata or link is returned for verification.
